Oberlin, OH
Kendal at Oberlin is a nonprofit life-plan community in northeast Ohio, next to Oberlin College, open since 1993. Its residents come from 39 states, which is unusual and mostly explained by the college: music, art and lifelong learning are the reason many people move here. Care runs from independent living through assisted living, memory support, short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care, all on one 110-acre campus with walking trails and an arboretum. The community is resident-led in a real sense, with an active Residents Association, and the wellness and fitness center anchors day-to-day life. The Kendal organizations grew out of Quaker practice, which shows in the emphasis on self-governance. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. There is a waitlist, managed through the community's portal, and a roadmap-to-residency program for people planning ahead. Pricing is not published.
